Very expensive, but very good attention to detail and quality food. I have had better meals for significantly less money.

Burger King cooks better food. For the amount of money they charge it should have been the best steak I have ever tried. I wouldn't even take the scrapes home to my dog.

Best in town, maybe in the country. The steaks are top rate and unlike other top steak houses it comes with salad, soup, and potato (or veggie). The wine list is in a class by itself and has many great wine...

This is not so much a steak house as an experience. The steaks are select, the vegetables are organically grown in their own gardens, the wine list is encyclopediac. The decor is late sixties New Orleans...

Bern's is the standard by which any steakhouse, anywhere can be measured. Food is prepared to perfection and a tour of the wine cellar is also a must.
